To build effective project teams by working closely with clinical, management and admin staff, volunteers and patients

We need an extra project manager for 12 months who is able to deliver all the core project management skills and on top of that enthuse, persuade and inspire collaboration. You should be tenacious and resilient with a positive and "can-do" approach, able to create and exploit opportunities to grow collaboration between teams more used to competing with each other.

The CANDo Programme works for the two acute Trusts in Dorset (Dorset County Hospital and University Hospitals Dorset). We bring together clinicians and managers from both trusts into networks to identify where working together more effectively can reduce inequalities, improve outcomes, improve service resilience or improve productivity. We then support these teams in making those collaborations a reality. We work flexibly across two NHS Trusts, and around ten specialties with a mix of home and office based working., Our mission is to provide outstanding care for people in ways which matter to them so we are seeking outstanding people who share our Trust values of teamwork, integrity, respect and excellence.
